Question

PLEASEEE HELP
What are the coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints J (-6, 3) and K (4, -2)

A) (-2,5)
B) (2,1)
C) (-1,.5)
D) (-10,1)
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is option C

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint M of two endpoints of a line segment can be found by using the formula

$M = ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \: \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )$

From the question the points are

J (-6, 3) and K (4, -2)

The midpoint is

$M = ( \frac{ - 6 + 4}{2} \: , \: \frac{3 - 2}{2} ) \\ = ( - \frac{2}{2} \: , \: \frac{1}{2} )$

We have the final answer as

( - 1 , 0.5 )

Hope this helps you
